Blades At Work

Chapter 17

Aino POV

It was a month after Denki cracked the code of something going on between me and Aizawa, surprisingly he kept his mouth shut and didn't tell anyone. Me and Aizawa was staying at each other's couple days a week, Aizawa was a bit more busy this week going in and out of meetings with Sir Nighteye, don't know what it's about but I knew fatgum and some of the students with work placements were involved. Whenever I would ask Aizawa though I couldn't get a straight answer out of him, this made me worry a bit, was it something to do with the league?
He kept this up for over a week and my questions were finally answered once I was invited to a meeting with Sir Nighteye, Aizawa and I was walking to the meeting together, aizawa didn't look so pleased with my presence there "why are you so mad that I've been invited to this meeting with you" I finally broke the silence, he couldn't ignore me now. We stopped outside the building as Aizawa sighed "I just don't want you getting hurt again, I know it's hard  as a pro hero to do your job without getting hurt but-" Aizawa rubbed his temple before I grabbed his hand and held it "I'll be careful, i promise" I squeezed his hand and let go as we walked indoors to the meeting.

Nighteye went on about a planned raid they have planned on the league "There will be two groups, one will be inside doing the raid and the other will be staying outdoors as backup with the police" Nighteye motioned for everyone to look at our papers, Aizawa to be grouped up on the inside and me outside as backup with Ururaka,Tsuu , Neijire and Dragoon. I sighed not really liking the positioning of Aizawa being involved with the raid but with his quirk, knowing he's extremely useful in attacks like these. I swallowed my nerves and looked at Ururaka who was waving at me slightly, I smiled at her and kept reading the sheets. "Um Sir, will the officers be staying outdoors with the backup group or will they also be split with the raid team?" Ururaka raised her hand, showing she was getting more confident talking to pros, even if she was now classified as a half hero now having her provisional.
The meeting went on for another hour before splitting off the students to the pros, including Tamaki and Mirio as now pros, as Nighteye spoke to the raid team in further detail, I walked out of the meeting room with the backup squad and saw Ururaka, Midoriya, Kirishima and Tsuu already sat at a table. "Hey ms.Kibira" Tsuu waved as I sat down with them "call me switchblade outside of school time" I smiled and looked at Ururaka "That was very brave of you talking and asking questions Bubble" A cheesy smile spread across her face, "howcome you give some people nicknames switch?" Kirishima questioned, i shrugged "some just have nicknames that I really like, For example Iida goes by ingenium but it's more funnier to call him Tenya The Tank Engine" I chuckled and made small talk with them, steering away from school talk. Eventually the raid team came out and Aizawa looked beat, I know how much he cares for the kids so him hearing about an abused child must be horrible for him. "Hey Eraser" I smiled and watched him walk over, he called midoriya over for a private talk and it looked kinda serious. These guys also realising the heat of the situation, their mood dropped again, I gulped and thought "hey, how about I take you guys out for meat buns, my treat" I smiled and saw their faces light up "really?" Kirishima jumped up and hugged me tightly, I coughed and chuckled "yes yes not too tight now red riot" the boy quickly let go and sat back down. Midoriya and Aizawa finally walking back "Switchblade is treating us to meat buns! You coming with Eraser?" Ururaka smiled, I chuckled and looked at him tilt his head thinking about it "fine, if you're paying"

After treating the guys to meat buns, I bought some extra for the rest of the class as me and Aizawa walked behind the group taking them back to the dorms "You're trying too hard" Aizawa chuckled softly, I rolled my eyes and nudged him "no I'm not I'm trying just enough, couldn't have them going back to the dorms all depressed, with the rest of the class not allowed to know they have to be in good spirits" I smiled, Aizawa shrugged and looked at the bag "I wish I got one now they smell really nice" Aizawa grunted, I smirked and pulled out a smaller bag inside the bag "well isn't it good I got two extra, I know you don't like eating infront of the kids so I bought extra for when you go home" Aizawa held the bag and looked at me and whispered "when I go home? You're not coming with me?" His voice lowly echoed in my ear sending shivers down my spine, I blushed slightly and looked at him "I'm spending so much time at yours, might aswell move in at this point" I chuckled and saw Aizawa shrug "more of you for me if you do, up to you though" Aizawa shrugged and grabbed the bag "I'll give the food to them, can you go unlock the car?" Aizawa handed me his car keys and kissed my cheek before walking inside the dorms, I smiled to myself and started walking to the car.

I unlocked the car and heard a twig snap behind me, I turned around and looked around me, the car park was empty and dimly lit by the street lights. "Boo!" A loud voice came from behind me, I shrieked and turned around punching the dark figure in the throat, only to feel my arm sinking in, I looked up and saw it was fatgum as he held onto his throat coughing "proper winded me there" Toyo coughed and rest his hand on the car "AINO!" Aizawa ran running over "you okay baby?" He didn't see Fatgum at first and looked at him after seeing I was completely fine. "Baby? Aww you two really are so cute" Fatgum chuckled, Aizawa freezing up slightly in embarrassment "fuck sake.." Aizawa mumbled, "it's fine even if you didn't call her baby I knew you two were having something going on, I was the one who helped yall with your first date" Fatgum chuckled, I looked at Aizawa and chuckled refraining from holding his hand as I could feel the students staring at us through the common room window on the back of my head, even if I didn't; Fatgum waving at them defiantly gave it away.
"I wanted to talk to you guys about the raid, I know you're in the backup squad Aino but you and Dragoon are taking care of 3 students so you two need to be on high alert to keep them safe" Fatgum looked at us both "I know nothing is official between you two but I don't want your relationship getting in the way of the mission" me and Aizawa both nodded, "of course" I looked at aizawa and had a feeling that most of that was towards me. Fatgum checked the time "it's getting late, have fun lovebirds" Fatgum smiled and hugged me, I chuckled and hugged him back "you're so cuddley" Aizawa groaned and crossed his arms "awww you come here too eraser" Fatgum lifted up his arm making room for both of us to hug him "no. No I'm not jealous and I am not joining your cuddle" Aizawa shook his head, I grabbed Aizawa's arm pulling him in "fucks sake" I laughed and hugged fatgum "The students are still looking by the way" he whispered to us both, I nodded and leaned back and leaned against the car as Fatgum pulled away "Right I'll be off, see you guys at the raid next week" Fatgum walked off as I looked at aizawa "i feel violated" he looked bluntly at me, I chuckled "come on bub in the car" and sat in the car as Aizawa got in and started driving off, waiting until we got away from UA and went to hold my hand, I smiled softly and held his hand. "It's like more and more people are finding out about us, we haven't even made anything official" Aizawa stroked my hand as he drove "Do you wanna make it official one day?" I looked at his hand and squeezed it, Aizawa chuckled softly "of course I do, just need to figure out when would be the right time, maybe after the raid" I blushed softly
